It will take longer and is more of a pain, but I'd recommend you try a different distro. This is just my opinion but I think fedora might keep causing you heartache. It comes with all the latest, bleeding edge, software, and as such *might* be a little unstable and difficult to use. I'd recommend something more user friendly for a first time linux user -- SUSE10 is a perfect example of this.

Just my 2 cents.

I recommend you stay away from distros like SUSE, Mandriva, Xandros, Linspire et al because they offer non-free packages.
